ticular phase of underdone culture which is here reflected is not peculiar to Chicago. It doubtless exists in all cities of this country, but none of the other cities has the good fortune to possess a genial satirist to give zest to it's struggle for higher things.
 The reader Of this book will be sure to note the felicitous way in which its author tells story. It may be done in dozen words or in several pages, but the result is the same; the story is perfect. In this rare excellence as a story-teller lies the chief promise which MT. Field gives of doing more lasting work than he has already done. "An Old Feud," "A Senator's Valor," Baked Beans and Culture" and one or two other fragments are tn: best samples in the present vol tune of his story telling power.
 That MT. Field is great reader is evident in his work. His vocabulary is copious and chosen with the care of true artist in words. Those who have watched his career during the last few years will testify to the rapid growth of his powers and the steady refinining of his humor. From him now come manly utterances, quaint, clever and glittering with the refec- tions of luminous mind. They take on tone of gentleness and reverence, or they are big and burly with de- licious bombast. They do not falter nor drop. The reader continually feels that MT. Field is capable of real heroics if he would only stop gossip ing and begin. At the same time the reader is pleased that he gossips.
 With genius and industry on his side, and with appreciation on the side of the public, the future creations of his busy mind and pen should be neither few nor poor.
 Mir. Julian Hawthorne's brief pre- face to "Culture's Garland" is friendly and fair statement of the authors promise and powers. The book is il- lustrated by cuts which originally ap- peared in the Duly News, and with two or three playful sketches by Mr. Field, which were not intended for the public eye when made.

the more acid there is in fruit the more

The young Democracy of Cecil

sweep at the primaries for nomina-
ton held on Saturday last. While
they boast so, the old line are study
ing up plans whereby the youngsters
will receive 4 thrashing this fall.
The political pot is boiling savagely,
and while there is fun in the Demo-
cratic ranks, the Republicans will
strive to nominate a strong ticket,
and then the contest will begin in
dead earnest. Elkton is verify hot
bed of politicians of all degrees OF
intelligence. Every youth is care
fully taught how to grow up and
fight his way in the whirlpool OF
political factions. The war paint
for the fall canvass promises to be
very red.

those with whom they work. The
owner of the exploded boiler is per
fectly willing 10 meet any and all of
these would-be experts on boilers, at
any place they may designate, and
discuss with lhonl the practical
workings of the machine He nails
the assertion that the boiler was
patched in several places" by offer
ing $500 to any one finding Il single
patch on the boiler Further he
brands as lie the assertion that he
was eyer careless on farm yard
while the machine was in operation
He has been an engineer for fully
sixteen years, and during that
period has made the running ofan
engine a close study. He does not
claim to be an expert, but simply a
careful workman on u machine that
needs both skill and caution.

THERE is a popularity about some peo-
pie that we have noticed frequently and
we know that others have noticed the
same popularity. This popularity is
forgetlulness, or thoughtlessness, or any
foolishness, or any other name you
choose to call it, occurs oftener among
young people. Here is the popularity,
A young man meets a young lady they
talk and laugh he bids good evening.
Probably the next day or a day later he
sees the same fair damsel riding with
gentleman they are coming toward the
young man he straightens up fixes his
coat lappels, and is prepared to speak.
The aforesaid young lady glances at him
but no speakee She treats him as Il
stranger. He looks at himself stares
after the wagon, looks about and then
goes oifcogitating This frequently done
here, we are informed Some people at
tribute this to pride, we don't know. If
we know person they have to turn their
head very quick or else we will speak.

JusT as soon MS a man can tell us
what is back Of the sun then we
will believe that a man by looking
into a fre-box Of boiler can tell
how the iron looks on the other side
It is beyond the power of any man
to tell anything about boiler by
looking at it, and we understand
that the man who looked at Bowen s
boiler at McQuilkin's shop is a fish
erman, and we think hardly able to
even guess as to the condition Of a
boiler.

highly polished spcetacIcs, leaned over
the counter in the Southern Pacific Com

morning and asked for round trip tick

Thirty dollars promptly responded
the clerk.
The passenger laid the gold on the
counter and the clerk pulled the ticket
out of the case and handed it toward
him with well-inked pen.
'What is that for? ?" asked the passen-

and glancing toward che pen.

NO, sir refuse There is 10 law in
